Which Should You Buy?
This is a masterpiece that divides as much as it delights. Be warned: the opening can be challenging, but if you can survive the notorious barnyard oud, you're in for a luxurious, uncompromising ride. Just ignore the eye-watering price tag.
Nocturne is Aromara's take on Frederic Malle The Night, an opulent rose-and-oud fragrance. It captures the honeyed rose-oud pairing well, but the base is lighter and less intoxicating than the original's dense, near-£550 richness.

Performance
Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its potent projection and intense animalic opening make it unsuitable for office wear or casual daytime use. However, its luxurious oud-rose profile and strong sillage are perfect for making a statement on a sophisticated date or a grand formal event.
Seasons
A dense rose-oud-honey composition with real weight, better suited to cold-weather evenings than light summer wear.
Occasions
Its intoxicating, statement character is built for evening dates and formal occasions rather than daytime or office settings.
